Panic Selling

Panic Selling - Panic Selling is the opposite of panic buying in that a rush of selling in particular with stock securities or stock securities as a whole. Panic selling accompanied by a particularly heavy volume and sharp decline in price to the stock securities as the shareholders and investors scramble to sell off before prices drop any further than they already have. It is generally expedited by the unexpected event or events viewed by stock traders as particularly negative. For example, the uncertainty surrounding the outbreak of serious hostile environment and a cutoff of oil supplies direct from the Middle Eastern countries.
